More about Karatsu Onsen Wataya

Located in the center of the old castle town of Karatsu, this ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) is close to the main sightseeing destinations. Guests can soak in the natural hot spring baths such as the open-air cypress bath. With a history dating back to the Meiji era, this former home of a coal mine owner welcomes guests to relax and enjoy the quiet atmosphere, and taste the delectable fresh seafood from Genkai and locally harvested vegetables.

      “Exceptional”

      This is probably the best traditional hotel/ryokan we experienced so far in Japan. The entire hotel is probably not recent but our room was pristine: perfectly clean, and while keeping an old style charm was in very good shape without a scratch. The hotel

      “唐津の旅”

      台風17号が九州を通過した翌日、こちらの宿を利用させて頂きました。 唐津という町には、以前より興味がありました。博多から快速で1時間ちょっと、思ったよりアクセスも良いと思います。 宿は、若干痛みが見られますが、風情のある趣で 無機質のホテルでは感じられない温もりと ほっこりする空気に包まれていました。 食事は、品数も多くひとつひとつにきちんと手がかけられ、大変満足でした。 博多の社用でも、翌日の予定がゆっくりであれば、博多で飲み歩きホテルで眠るだけの夜よりこちらの宿でゆっくりしたいと思います。 1人の泊りでも 追加料金が高く無く 良心的だと思います。 1泊では 楽しみ尽くせなかったので、次回もこちらに泊まり 唐津焼き巡りをしたいと思ってます。

      “和風旅館を堪能”

      このところほとんどビジネスホテルを利用していたため、久しぶりの和風旅館の良さを満喫できました。部屋付きの女性はよく気の付く方でした。追加料理の呼子のイカお造り、げそ・みみのてんぷらは抜群。最初からコースに入れてけばよかったと反省しています(多少割高気味だったので)。建物、施設は時代物故、そろそろ更新の時期ではないかと思います。熱効率がすごく悪いようです。
